She looked at her mother sadly. It was time..
They needed her, and the crystal was ready.
"I..I am frightened to go back. There is so much
pain there mother.." Serenity admitted quietly.
"I know my darling.. I know. But they need you.
And you have a very important future. It's over this night.
Things will be better, I promise. But do not judge. Do not
be spiteful... don't be blinded by hate my daughter.."
"But mother! How can I not? He.. he's ruined me!
He enjoyed every minute of it! He doesn't deserve to live.."
Serenity argued, tears filling her eyes.
"My dear.. I know.. but you are better than that. It
will be a true test. Be true to your heart, follow it. Don't
be blinded... it's time."
Serenity nodded slowly..."I love you mother. I'll do
my best. They came for me - and I will save them.."
Brilliant lights flashed around the princess as she
waved once again to her mother, this time, with a glint of
hope in her eyes.

Erebus pulled off Dariens mask and placed it on his
own face. Hysterics taking over his mentality. Nebil approached
him slowly, frowning at the four girls laying motionless on the
floor, and princess in the middle, near her fallen prince.
Was this how it was supposed to happen? It can't be...
he's gone mad. As she passed the princess she noticed the crystal
still clutched tightly in her hand - how had she kept it held that
entire time?
Erebus shot a glance at Nebil quickly. His eyebrows
raised.
"What are you doing here Nebil? Do you know how they got
in here?!" He was still smiling.. odd.
"Sire.. no.. I don't know. I.. I heard the commotion from
my quarders... Xandria was frightened - so we came to check it out,
what happened? What about your...your wedding? Have you killed them
all?" Her voice was very quiet, shakey.
He raised a brow again, "Good point. Can the child bring
the princess back?" This threw him into another fit of laughter,
"Imagine!!! Hahaha, I would have won TWICE! Bringing her back,
he will be dead, but his soul will NEVER rest!" He grinned widely,
leaning down again, close to Dariens face, "DO YOU HEAR THAT?! I'VE
WON, PRINCE! And your princess will eternally be mine! DO YOU HEAR
ME?!" He laughed loudly, holding his stomach as he did.
Nebil stepped backwards, nearly stumbling over the still
Sailor Jupiter.."Y-you... you've gone MAD! You know that don't
you?! Look at you! ..You're so consumed with this.. this NEED for
vengence... it's BLINDED you Erebus! Who are you? Who are you now?
Do you even know?!" She shook her head roughly from side to side,
trying to deny what he had become, but she couldn't any longer.
He was absolutely, NUTS!
Erebus narrowed his eyes, "How..how DARE you speak to
me in such a manner! *I'VE* gone mad? ME? I'm fighting to hold
this world TOGETHER! Don't you dare try to tell me I've gone
mad! You are certainly not good enough to rule beside me, to
hold all this together. Look at you! You're weak! In fact,"
He put his hands together and began brewing a new dark ball
between them, "you've outlived your usefulness, Nebil..."

Bright light filled Serena's still body, halting
Erebus and Nebils discussion. She floated lifelessly off
the ground into the air and stilled. Her thin nude body
began to glow, radiance returning to her skin once again.
Erebus stumbled backwards, his eyes wide as her
hair shifted back into her normal, two bunned style, and
grew back to it's previous length, gold and shimmering,
brushing her calves softly. Her princess gown appeared
in yet another blast of brilliant light, completing the
transition.
Her body slowly drifted to the floor. She stood
still for a moment, the room silent. Neither Erebus nor
Nebil moved a bit, both standing wide-eyed with their
jaws slacked. After what seemed like an eternity, her
eyes flew open. She turned slowly to face Erebus, the
pain in her eyes evident - but their shine distilling.
She looked sadly around at her fallen comrads.
How she loved them all... it never hurt any less to see
them die for her again and again. But she wasn't weak now.
No, this could be easily remedied. She kneeled next to
her prince, gently placing a hand on his pale face. She
wouldn't see it happen again. Not this time, and not by
this man. She stood up slowly once more, and raised the
crystal to her eye level.
With a soft kiss, the crystal began working her
wish. Soft whisps of light caressed her friends bodies,
animating their skin, bringing life back to their hearts.
And finally, to her prince.
The senshi stirred slowly, each rising to her
knees, bewildered at surviving the punch they all knew
they'd just recieved. And all eye's fell upon her. Tears
of joy escaped their eyes, she was going to be alright,
and in turn, had saved them all, once more.
Darien opened his eyes slowly, he knew what she
had done for him, again. She was alright.. she'd returned
to him, and.. returned him to her. They were meant to be,
and together, somehow, all of this would be a very distant
memory. He smiled up at her for a moment, then turned his
attention with her gaze, and all of the senshi's as well,
at Erebus.
Quietly, Serena stepped in front of all of them.
Gazing cooly at the man who had caused her so much pain
and hurt. Who had stolen one of the most precious things
anyone could ever have taken from her. She was pissed.
"Erebus. You will pay dearly for your sins against
me. I'll see to it personally. Accept your fate, there is
only hell for you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erebus was SCARED. This was very different than
his fear of Prince Darien from back in the Beryl days,
no..this was.. frightening. The princess has never been
known to be truely angry or hateful. The tone..she used
now ..was far scarier than any Erebus had ever heard in
his life. Could he go up against the girl who had
destroyed so many already? This wasn't possible...
Erebus tried desperately to regain his composure.
Anyone in the household could clearly see he was frightened,
this is did not pass Serenity. He could see she was very
angry. How the hell had she gotten the crystal back? All of
this would have been easily fixed if that crystal was not in
her grasp. And now, everything he had accomplished was whiped
away. There they stood. the four sailor senshis.. the prince
and his princess. He was truly afraid.
He looked over at Nebil, who looked equally as
surprised as he felt. But ... she was.. what was that?!
She was smiling. She looked so pleased. 'Could she have
betrayed me?' He thought to himself, 'She will go down
with me... it will be my last task if she did.' Anger
boiled through his viens once again. He looked back from
Nebil to the princess. He was ready to fight 'till the
end, and he didn't care who - or what he took down with
him, he wasn't going alone.

! who the heck should have the pleasure of killing him? And if !
! he doesn't.. well why not? Who should save him? It really is !
! mindboggling!Everyone wants a crack at this guy,mainly Darien!
! granted, but each of the scouts,and probably even Nebil would!
! consider it at this point. So where do we go from here? Email!
